When I first mentioned this to Nick on IRC, the implementation of itercm() was a not-so-trivial function that called __enter__/__exit__ manually while catching StopIteration. It only occurred to me while posting this issue, that the same could be achieved with a simple `yield from` in a `with`. I also didn't realize that the __exit__ called in case of error in the attached example was triggered by the garbage collector. I therefore agree that a somewhat obscure and non-deterministic three-liner doesn't belong in the standard library.
